The Ogun State Water Corporation has shut down its biggest water works, the Abeokuta Main Water Scheme, Arakanga, in Abeokuta North Local Government.
This followed the rehabilitation of the scheme, which can pump 162 million litres per day.
The corporation’s General Manager, Mrs. Monsurat Agboola, said the exercise would last seven days.
She said the corporation’s old water scheme in Iberekodo has been placed on 24 hours service.
“We are carrying out an enormous repair work at this location as you can see.
“For now, we have shut down the major system that supplies Abeokuta and we are on the smaller scheme.
“The smaller scheme will be on for 24 hours daily while repair works at the main scheme lasts,” she added.
